4 hikers are rescued from the East Mountains in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities say four hikers have been rescued from the East Mountains in Albuquerque. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office says two groups of hikers were reported lost Saturday. KOB-TV reports that three of the four people were located by air and had supplies dropped to them. Search and rescue crews had to go in by foot to bring them down from the mountains. Authorities say the fourth hiker managed to make it to the tram and ride it down to get help. The names of the hikers weren't immediately released by sheriff's officials on Sunday.
